Today we have started off the Infrastructure Finance & Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) Training Programme at the Bingu International Conference Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe. This three-day programme has brought together participants from Development Finance Institutions, the financial sector, real sector players and other key stakeholders in infrastructure development for an intensive capacity-building experience.

EDF, in collaboration with SADC-DFRC, is delivering this programme to strengthen the technical and institutional capacity in infrastructure financing and implementation of PPP projects. The training provides practical tools for structuring, financing, and managing infrastructure projects through effective PPPs.
